Boy, do I know what you're feeling. I've only been in one relationship, which recently ended...and I still have very few clues as to how gay relationships work. I think, if I lived a thousand lifetimes and experienced dozens of lovers and partners, I still wouldn't be able to fully explain the complexities and confusion of two people trying to unite.
My ex believes that people are happiest in relationships (friendships, lovers, acquaintances) when they simply let the relationship develop without having to define roles, without having to set levels of commitment. He may have a point there (as much as I hate to admit it. ;) ) It's when we try to further define roles that we pigeonhole each other and fail to experience the full beauty of the other person.
So, hey...if you get around somebody you like, spend lots of time with them. If sex comes up, take it and be happy. Just let it flow, and maybe roles will define themselves.
I wonder if what I wrote was coherent at all..::grin:: This is what I get for writing at the end of the day.
